Colonial Van Lines, headquartered in Plantation, FL, operates primarily as a moving broker — meaning they match your job to carriers in their network rather than moving you themselves. This model can yield competitive quotes, but it introduces variability in crew quality and sometimes results in price increases between estimate and delivery. Best suited for flexible movers prioritizing cost over predictability.
